My opine is that a racial coming together over modern southernness is long overdue. Rednecks come in many colors. Black families in the USA were actually doing better and better in spite of being hobbled from full commerce by Jim Crow. Nobody laments the passing of Jim Crow, but what can be lamented is what GWB called the soft bigotry of lowered expectations. Ill thought out (however well intended) welfare schemes rewarded black families for being disunited and the average black family went (pardon the pun) south.

It wasn't well-intentioned if the architects of the welfare state knew damn good and well what was going to happen.

As an Ass't Sec'y of Labor, Daniel Patrick Moynihan studied LBJ's proposed legislation and labelled it a "death warrant for the black family".

Nonetheless, LBJ decided that buying the black vote for the Democrat party was more important than any cultural problems it might create.
